Bad auditors miss obvious bugs. We built an AI tool that finds them. Introducing V12: the only autonomous Solidity auditor that actually finds Highs and Criticals. We'll be releasing it for free. V12 finds Crits in Zellic audits, High/Mediums in Cantina, and a bug in Pendle.

Code4rena will run audit contests for free, as public goods. 100% of funds from sponsors will go directly to auditors and judges. We won't take any cut. Why? 1. Competitions are commodities. They're CRUD apps. Why should builders pay premium for a website just to submit bugs? Especially smaller teams without VC funding. 2. Everyone deserves competitions. We tell all our clients to get a competition after their audit. That's because competitions simulate real world conditions, where there's thousands of eyes on a protocol. We want to make competitions as affordable as possible so everyone can get one. 3. It benefits our wardens. In 2021, we invented the competition format. We're still the platform with the largest auditor pool (10,000 registered). Not only should builders have access to the best security talent, we believe auditors should have opportunities to work with great projects. Opening up our platform benefits our wardens. How will you afford this? Zellic is a profitable business. We make money doing traditional private audits through Zellic and Zenith. This benefits us because: (1) our clients are more secure after they run contests, and (2) Code4rena is a talent pipeline for Zenith. Will you stop maintaining the platform? Of course not. Since we acquired Code4rena, we've shipped several features and have several more already underway. C4 has a dedicated dev team that we're fully committed to. Besides, many of our clients at Zellic use C4. We're incentivized to make sure the platform works well. It's just that now we're allowing everyone to benefit from our investments in Code4rena. In conclusion: Run a contest on Code4rena! We won't take a cut, your prizes will go directly to wardens and judges. For full details, check out our blog post here: zellic.io/blog/code4rena-fre…

Zellic is proud to serve as a whitelisted security provider joining the @UniswapFND Security Fund! We're excited to provide support for the teams building on Uniswap v4 to help them launch secure, innovative projects.

Just completed my 10th audit as a contractor @zellic_io and these are my top favourite things about this place: 1. They have a diverse and deep talent pool. World top Web security, Cosmos, Rust, Golang, MOVE. They have experts in every direction I want to move into (pun definitely unintended). 2. I still get to be independent, get my own clients, work with other teams. This keeps me fresh, accountable, and at the top of my game. 3. Every time I have asked for a specific type of contract, it magically shows up in my schedule. These past 4 months I've done countless bridges (EVM, OP, Cosmos), Client implementations in rust, governance, staking, etc. Keen to see what they throw at me next!

Finally figured out why I've never won a slot game during DEFCON..

Apparently, you can now embed any image (or GIF) in your Steam nickname and it’ll show up in the CS2 kick voting menu 🔥 After a few tries, our admin was able to use some random GIF with @s1mpleO as his nickname 😭💀

D-1 til Codegate 2023 Finals :) I'll be there as an author/organizer, see you guys and good luck.

상대적으로 적은 수의 팀원에도 불구하고 좋은 팀워크와 기량으로 높은 등수를 거둘 수 있었던 것 같습니다. 리타이어되는 문제가 없어 1인 1문제에 가까워 질수록 점점 어지러워 졌던 것 같네요.. 비행기와 숙박 및 식비 등 대회에만 집중할 수 있도록 큰 도움 주신 분들께 감사드리고 싶습니다.

On the way to Las Vegas, see you guys at DEFCON!

The new security patch in Django was disclosed on July 3rd, 2023 🚀 (CVE-2023-36053) This was reported by ME 🔥 And thanks to Django Security Team for kind reception and professional patch. djangoproject.com/weblog/202…

Two teams (The Goose and NoG) from KAIST got 1st and 4th place from CCE! Congrats!
